Historic 5-11 Alarm fire with multiple LODD in Chicago, 2-7-68

This message comes from Steve Redick:

Another well-known and tragic event. A gasoline tanker leaked and caught fire in an alley at 801 W. 49th Place, at Mickelberry Food Products, which led to a massive explosion that killed four firefighters and several civilians. My dad was part of SS3 and responded to the call. He told me about wading through waist-deep water, covered in gasoline in the basement, and shutting off utilities as instructed. He often said they were lucky no one was hurt during that operation, and they shouldn’t have even been down there in the first place. This happened well after the initial explosion—they arrived later in the fire. You can listen to the audio recording here.

Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryer

Vibrating Fluid Bed Dryer is widely used for operation of drying, cooling powder and granule materials.

Material is fed into the machine from feeding inlet, and moves forward continuously along with the level of fluid bed under the action of vibration force. Hot air passes through fluid bed and carries out heat exchanging with damp material. Then the damp air is exhausted out by exhaust fan, some fine powder is collected by cyclone separator and dust remover, and dried product is discharged from discharging outlet.
